Ian Flatt - What's Your Mountain?

As a family, my wife Rachael, my two beautiful daughters and myself are living with Motor Neurone Disease following my diagnosis in March 2019. Like all families living with MND we have faced many mountains, which fortunately for us have been navigated with the gentle guidance and support of the MND Team in Leeds, the MND Association and our wonderful friends.

We’re very excited with our plans for 2023 and are again fundraising for the MND Association and the Leeds Hospitals Charity appeal to build the Rob Burrow Centre for MND.

Our first two ‘Mountains’ for 2023;

14 May - The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon. 26.2 miles "running" for Rob in the Tangerine Dream Machine supported by the tremendous Team Flatt.

July - 100 Mile Trek, The Trilogy. Our third and most challenging 100 mile trek, 9 days start to finish. Starting in Nidderdale, climbing through the Dales to finish at the highest pub in Britain, The Tan Hill Inn in Swaledale.

And this is where you come in, we really need your help. We would be incredibly grateful for each and every donation to help us raise much needed funds for this dedicated centre which will provide respite, research, resources and overall a sense of hope for the MND community and for the exceptional and extraordinary people who look after us, who were there at the beginning of our journey and I know will be there at the end.

Thank you,

Charley, Isea, Rachael and Ian xxxx (and Nealla x)
